The Chicago police union’s president alleges that the county’s top prosecutor interfered with the investigation of “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett before recusing herself and wants the Justice Department to determine if she broke any laws.

Despite dire predictions of “crackdowns,” questions remain among legal experts as to just how significantly Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision to rescind an Eric Holder-era guidance on marijuana prosecutions will change patterns of prosecution.

“They didn’t care. Their attitude, then, back in July, during the DNC, was they were going to win this thing anyway, so who cares? Now, I think the tides have turned a little bit and she’s on her heels,” McNesby told Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, discussing his organizations endorsement. “As many times as we’ve tried to…have it a fair process and an open process, the emails back were that they’re not interested and no thanks. Just snide things like that.”

President Barack Obama told a gathering of law enforcement officials on Monday that he was critical to their efforts to reconcile with the black community: “I’m your best hope,” he declared, according to a police official quoted by the Washington Post.

At least one police union has seemingly abandoned its plans to boycott Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight in the wake of the director’s participation in an anti-police brutality rally in October and his subsequent escalating rhetoric against law enforcement.

Quentin Tarantino continues to stand by anti-police comments he made earlier this fall in a new interview, saying he “completely rejects” the “bad apples” argument that only a small number of police officers behave inappropriately on the job.

Quentin Tarantino says he is “not worried” about an upcoming “surprise” pledged by the nation’s largest police union after the director participated in an anti-police brutality rally in New York City in October.

Actor Viggo Mortensen criticized the boycott against Quentin Tarantino and defended the controversial comments “The Hateful Eight” director made while participated in an anti-police rally, even going so far as to accuse Tarantino’s critics of “condoning” police brutality.

In the wake of the October 1 shooting that left nine dead at Umpqua Community College (UCC), Princeton University has announced that it will be augmenting its policy on gun-free Department of Public Safety officers so as to provide those officers access to rifles that can be used in the event of an attack.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch voiced strong support Monday for the country’s police officers, praising them as peacemakers and encouraging them to be part of the national conversation about improving relationships with minority communities.

Still reeling from the ATF HQ’s announcement that the AR-15 ammo ban is off the table for now, The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times simply came unglued on March 12–describing the NRA as a “ridiculous” group that “aligned itself with violent criminals” to defeat the ban.

On Tuesday, Breitbart News reported that ATF Headquarters announced they were halting their AR-15 ammo ban less than a month after proposing it. That same day, The Washington Post declared: “That didn’t take long.”
